Here at Komodo Gear we are very proud of how we build our products and especially our motorcycle leather race suits.  We could brag to you about how the entire motorcycle leather race suit is constructed with 1.2 to 1.4 mm full grain leathers. We might even be considered showing off when we tell you that Komodo Gear race suits have double and triple Oxley stitching used throughout the entire suit.  You may even consider us smug when we say Komodo Gear prides itself that our motorcycle race suits are race proven. So why should you believe anything we have said about our motorcycle race suits?  Don’t….

but listen to what Danny Kelsey has to say about the day he crashed his GSXR 750  in mid forth gear going around 130mph when he hit the asphalt….

Komodo Gear takes our slogan “Purpose Driven Motorcycle Gear” seriously. That is why we created the Challenger leather race suit to address these tough economic times! America will get out of this recession, even though it is the “big one” because we love what we do and do what we love. Americans love to race, and those with the biggest “balls” race motorcycles! However, it is important to protect ones “balls”, and the Challenger does it effectively at the lowest price possible.
The designers at Komodo Gear were tasked to develop a “KOMODO quality” race suit that would sell at a price any racer could afford. So we eliminated the fluff, put a gun to the heads of our manufacturing team, and came up with a $700.00 suit that offers protection and quality often not found in suits costing twice the price. The Challenger is constructed with full grain premium leather. Leather thickness is 1.2 to 1.4 mm. Impact areas are reinforced. All armor is of C.E. rated materials. Seams are folded, glued and triple stitched. Zippers are genuine YKK fasteners. There is a separate layer of full grain leather under the accordion stretch panels, because in a crash, the stretch panels could get caught on a handle grip or rear sets and tear. If such an occurrence should happen the rider still has a full layer of leather between him and the pavement!
So, what makes the Challenger race suit different? It provides the amateur and privateer racer real protection that is affordable, quality that is unbelievable for the price, and the reputation of a company standing behind it known for building the “safest race suits on the planet”! You can get a cheaper suit. However, anything costing less is made with lesser quality materials, put together with lesser craftsmanship, and probably made by a company with lesser knowledge about racing. And, by the way, such a cheaper suit also gives lesser protection to one’s “balls”!

So you are ready to hit the track and want to know what to look for in  high quality motorcycle race gloves? Yes, I said race gloves! When you take your bike to a track, you are in the big leagues and that requires “professional grade” equipment such as Komodo Gear.

You will need a glove that offers higher levels of protection than an everyday street riding glove.  Racing safety guidelines mandate that all race gloves have Kevlar components.

Here is a list of things to look for in high quality motorcycle race gloves

• High quality Leather  ( the highest quality race gloves have Kangaroo Leather palms)
• Carbon fiber technology on knuckle, wrist, top of fingers.
• Reinforcements for impact against abrasion
•  Good ventilation
•  Padding and  impact shock protection
• Kevlar padding and overlays with reinforced  stitching

Another good suggestion is to make sure the motorcycle race glove is made with C.E. rated components. “C.E. certified” means the product has been tested to do what it said it would do.
